Joe Gagnon The Appliance Doctor
Live Saturdays 8A-11A



The Appliance Doctor Radio Show has been on the radio for 25 years across the country. After many years at ABC and CBS, Joe Gagnon has found his way back to his roots at WAAM Ann Arbor. His Saturday morning format has helped millions save money on repairs and maintenance of major home appliances. His easy going logical method of instructions has given many do-it-yourselfers a new sense of accomplishment. You may have seen him on “Prime Time” or “Good Morning America” or heard him on your local radio station when he wrote his last two books, “First Aid” and “The Words & Wisdom of The Appliance Doctor”. His many years of experience working in the appliance industry can only help those who want to fix something on their own, shop wisely for appliances or be a more aware consumer. Even the very educated of this world can learn something from the Appliance Doctor. Joe’s passion for people has made him a strong consumer advocate who is known throughout the country. He worked as a fraud investigator for Detroit Consumer Affairs and the Michigan Attorney General’s Office helping to eliminate unethical type businesses and writing legislation that resulted in 3 different laws that bear his signature. In June 2002 Governor John Engler of Michigan signed “The Joe Gagnon Appliance Repair Act”, the first time in the history of the United States that an American Law has been named after a Canadian citizen.

Joe Gagnon was born and raised in Timmins, Ontario, in Canada and came to this country in the early 60’s playing hockey. He is a member of the Detroit Red Wings Alumni hockey team and still laces on the blades for charitable causes.
